Even Farah Khan says so.. she is technically perfect. I emphasise on the word technically. But versality-wise, I think Mona is the better dancer. She brings something different to the stage everytime. And for those who feel Shveta is a superb dancer, look at her very first performance till her very last. You will notice she does the same style again and again and again. She has been repetitive throught the competition as well. The same old swivelling of the hips, the same old expressions.(Personally I think its an insult to Madhuri Dixit to be compared to Shveta the way Sanjay Leela Bhansali does it.. Madhuri is way way way classier than Shveta). I have yet to see Shveta look sensuous or elegant in any of her dances. And I feel that she tends to exaggerate a little sometimes. She does the whole "sexy dance style" really well, I admit. Its sad that I didn't manage to find her enticing enough.
Mona makes me smile when she dances. I am not being biased though. As I am not JJKN fan at all. But whenever she comes on stage, she makes me feel good. She sends a message out to the laymen out there: "Look I can dance! If I can dance, so can you!" She has put on weight, she's chubby, she's not a naturally gifted dancer and yet she tries her best every single time. And thats what truly endears her to the public. Not the fact that she is Jassi. The fact that she's telling 1 billion Indians.. "Hey if I can do it, so can you!" Shveta never once endeared to me. It seemed too perfect. I'm human and I endear myself to imperfections. Mona is far from perfect, I agree, when it comes to dancing. But her dedication, her down-to-earth-ness had endeared herself to me greatly. Even Parmeet is smitten by Mona. I am too.
My fingers will be crossed on Friday night when the results are out. I would love Mona to win.. but maybe Shveta should win.. not because she is the best dancer in the show. But because if Mona wins, everyone will cry injustice to Shveta and Mona's victory will be tainted and Mona herself won't feel good as Shveta seems the sort to make a fuss(in my humble opinion.. the way she said people are not voting for Mona but Jassi.. just reeks of insecurity).
Its a pity I cant vote as Im not from India. But if I could vote, I would vote for the one person who brings a smile to my face when she dances- Mona Singh.
